Message:
Anyone know FOR SURE what the fuel pressure readings are supposed to be for a *92* 5.2litre with MPI??

I have two books...one (Chiltons) says 14psi, the other (Haynes) says 31psi...

Mine reads 38-40 psi at key on, and about 32-33psi at idle........

So which do I believe? 14 psi seems kind of low for MPI.....

31 psi vacum hose on engine running
39 vacum hose of the regulator engine running

Thanks!

That seems right....thats what I am getting....

Trying tochase a problem with rough idle/rough acceleration...a miss, basically...that comes and goes...

Next step I guess is a new set of 19lb FMS injectors...

The #1 cause of misfiring is a bad plenum pan gasket. Look into your TB and check for oil.

Ok, maybe its the #2 or #3 cause... Please don't hurt me.

PS no rumor here.

My 95 Dakota 5.2 keeps throwing a 27 engine code.
It comes back to fuel injector and runs rough when
it happens. I've everything from PCM to injectors
to crankshaft sensor to ohming out all the
injector wires and still have not found the
problem. Checking fuel pressure today. Any
suggestions from anybody? Thanks
